Looks cool, but I think my limit for buying any statue is around the €100 mark. I've gotten some cool ones for €60 or €70 that look great in my Game Room.
Just finished Hi Fi Rush and looking to start The Last of Us 1 for the first time. On Switch, will give Xenoblade a try. Picked it up cheap second hand.
Never owned a Gameboy so will definietly try out some of these. Minish Cap being top of my list, even though I'm not a huge fan of the old style Zelda's I've played so far.
For me it was poor. Anything that was good about it was ports of old and very old games. And even though I haven't played any of them so they're new to me, it's not what I was looking for in a Direct. I'm sure other people enjoyed it though, there was plenty of content. Just nothing much that interested me personally apart from Zelda which we already know about.
@rjejr i couldn't care less if it looks better or not. Breath of the Wild is the best game I've ever played. I value games based on the fun I've had with it. If it's a 2D sprite based game and it's €70, it's worth it if i enjoyed it.
I've so many happy memories playing BOTW and sharing stories with friends also playing. What it comes down to is do I think this game is worth €70? The answer is I'm buying the collectors edition so to me is worth more than that.
@Hisui25002 Inflation? Consoles are going up in price. Why not games too? Dont get me wrong I dont want them to be $70 but I'm not surprised given that everything in the world is going up in price.
Skill gap killed this game. Everyone that played this game a lot got really good at it and formed squads with friends. An outsider joining for a few games with randoms in their team would get destroyed over and over again. Not fun. I enjoyed the game but dropped off it after a few weeks since none of my mates played.
Think i bought 2 Switch games this year. One was Mario Strikers which I quickly re-sold. Spent most of my time on other platforms. Switch didn't interest me much this year except for games night with friends playing older games.
The only thing I was looking for in this review was how it ran on Switch. I've read and listened to enough reviews from other places to know that I'll probably enjoy it. Push Square gave it an 8, IGN a 7, Kinda Funny gave it 3 out of 5. I think I'll still get it but maybe not on Switch.
Push Square review is up and they gave it an 8 which is great news. Hopefully Switch performance can handle what this game throws at it and it reviews similarly.
Never finished Bayo 1. Bayo 2 I'm about a quarter the way through and enjoying it. I've no idea whats going on but it's great fun. Will likely play 3 someday but its not on my purchase radar anytime soon. Will wait for a sale sometime.
Hellena's trying to brush the story under the carpet now because more facts are coming out against her. For her behaviour in all of this I'm glad they dropped her. What a weird story.
@Dr_Luigi That might be your expereince but it's not everyones. I've been playing cloud games for almost 3 years now with no issues. Does that mean everyones experience will be good like mine? No.
If I didn't have access to it on Xbox I'd have no problem going for the cloud version. Have bought previous cloud versions of games on Switch and they've worked well.
Companies get in hot water all the time over much worse stuff than this and gamers come up with excuses to justify still buying the game they want to play. "I'm supporting the developers that work there" etc etc. No chance people will boycott over this.
Good luck getting gamers to boycott. The ones who do boycott are people who didn't plan on buying the game anyways and just like to look the hero online. And the ones that buy the game will use the excuses like "I'm supporting the game developers" spiel.

Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Scores New Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Buying physical copies of these games is the way. Play for a bit, sell after a bit.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Lands Free Switch Demo, Out Today
@Yannis it can go lower
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Lands Free Switch Demo, Out Today
Waiting for the inevitable Ubisoft sale on this one. Will pick it up when it hits €20 or so.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 18th)
Just finished Hi Fi Rush and looking to start The Last of Us 1 for the first time. On Switch, will give Xenoblade a try. Picked it up cheap second hand.
Re: Sonic Frontiers' Sales "Greatly Exceeded" Expectations
Picked it up on sale and its actually good fun to dip into every so often. I can see me finishing the game but not anytime soon.
Re: Splatoon 3 Reveals Expansion Pass Wave 1 Launches Later This Month
I've never understood a DLC package less. Don't "get" this at all. Who's actually buying this and why?
Re: Pre-Purchase Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom At GameStop And Get A Free Wooden Plaque
I opted for the collectors edition in a different store so will miss out.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Metroid Prime Remastered?
Never played so will pick it up at some point. Getting better at focusing on backlog so will probably play it in about 3 games time.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime Remastered - A Long-Awaited And Stunning Return Of A Legend
My first Metroid game was Dread. Will definitely try this out at some point.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2023 Nintendo Direct?
For me it was poor. Anything that was good about it was ports of old and very old games. And even though I haven't played any of them so they're new to me, it's not what I was looking for in a Direct.
I'm sure other people enjoyed it though, there was plenty of content. Just nothing much that interested me personally apart from Zelda which we already know about.

Re: Yes, Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Costs $70, Collector's Edition Announced
One collectors edition please. Sweet!
Re: Poll: Would You Pay $70 For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
BotW is my favourite game of all time. If this was €80 I'd be buying it. If there's a special edition I'll likely go for that.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Temporarily Listed On Nintendo Website For $70 USD
I've moved away from buying games on launch day but this is one I'll be getting day one for sure.
Also, @rjejr Games aren't $70 because they are in 4K. Resolution has nothing to do with price.
Re: Toss A V-Buck To Your Witcher, Geralt Of Rivia Slashes Onto Fortnite Today
He looks pretty cool. If i played Fortnite I'd probably get this.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow
As usual, I will be going in with low expectations.

Re: Review: GoldenEye 007 - Aged And Flawed, But Still A Masterpiece Of Game Design
Played it on xCloud earlier, ran great. Two thumbstick controls are a godsend. Will try out the Switch version tonight.
Re: Review: BlueRetro N64 Adapter - This Plug & Play Bluetooth Dongle Is The Perfect Match For Your NSO Pad
Could put my Stadia controller to good use with this adapter.

@jorel262 Some people are never happy.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Director Talks About Dropping Boost Mechanic In Next Game
I'm only about 2 hours into the game. Only gripe I have so far is the camera can be a bit finnicky during big battles. Otherwise, enjoying it though.
Re: First 4 Figures Unveils Stunning New Mario Kart Statue, Pre-Orders Now Open
Looks great but way above what I'd be willing to pay sadly.
Re: This Latest Switch 'Rival' From Razer Launches At The End Of The Month
Na, I'm happy with my Switch and Razer Kishi with xCloud for handheld gaming thanks. Don't need another device.
Re: Soapbox: If You Thought Last Year Was "Sad" For Switch, 2023 Might Be Hard To Handle
Think i bought 2 Switch games this year. One was Mario Strikers which I quickly re-sold. Spent most of my time on other platforms. Switch didn't interest me much this year except for games night with friends playing older games.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Reveals Free DLC Road Map For 2023 - New Story, Playable Characters & More
Just started this recently. Apart from all the pop-up tutorial stuff at the very start, it's a lot of fun.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Showcase Highlights Open-World Broom And Hippogriff Flight
Like most games these days, will be waiting for reviews.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Excited To See Call Of Duty Return To Nintendo Platforms?
Great that it's coming to the platform. Not something I'll be playing though.

@prismt "Why do people like the thing I dont like"? Also, it's the most popular sport in the world. So there's that. Let people enjoy what they enjoy.
Re: Review: Sonic Frontiers - A Bold But Ultimately Failed Attempt At Something New
The only thing I was looking for in this review was how it ran on Switch. I've read and listened to enough reviews from other places to know that I'll probably enjoy it. Push Square gave it an 8, IGN a 7, Kinda Funny gave it 3 out of 5. I think I'll still get it but maybe not on Switch.
Re: Surprise! A Free Mario Strikers Switch Demo Is Now Available On The eShop
It's a fun game for a few minutes if you've got friends over. But by no means a must have game. Online is dispointing.
Re: Review: Sifu - Sloclap's Kung-Fu Epic Revives Itself On Switch
Will pick it up at some point but not sure if I'll get it on Switch or PS5 yet.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
If it runs well on Switch I'll get it there. If not, I'll get it somewhere else.
Re: Site News: So, Where's Our Sonic Frontiers Review?
@Snatcher And IGN gave it a 7 so all in all it's looking decent.
Re: Site News: So, Where's Our Sonic Frontiers Review?
Push Square review is up and they gave it an 8 which is great news. Hopefully Switch performance can handle what this game throws at it and it reviews similarly.

What a clown. Wishing Platinum every success with the new game.

Re: Poll: A Plague Tale: Requiem - Cloud Version Is Out Today On Switch, Will You Be Getting It?
@Dr_Luigi They've got it good enough that I dont notice it to be honest. I play on xCloud regularly with no issues.
Re: Poll: A Plague Tale: Requiem - Cloud Version Is Out Today On Switch, Will You Be Getting It?
@michaelf Stadia technology worked really well. It was Google themselves that was the problem there.
